On the occasion of Siberian and Alaskan wild duck migration, traditionally marked at the Imperial Estate in Shinhama where His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Japan organized a special shelter, representatives of diplomatic corps are invited each year to participate in the event aiming for their preservation and protection on his estate.

Ambassador Mrkić with his wife attended the Duck Netting Event and met with the members of the Imperial Family, Princ Akishino and Princess Kiko, who were kind to be the hosts to diplomatic corps for this years' gathering.
